That inverted V symbol is the Greek letter L, being the first letter of the name of the Spartan territory of Lacedaemonia.
Early Greek shields had various patterns on them, but then began to adopt the letter of their city to avoid killing their own by mistake in battle. There is a story of an action in Corinth in the early 4th Century in which some passing Spartans who were unarmed picked up some shields of warriors from Sikyon, which had an S on them, to oppose a sally by Corinthians. The latter, being Dorians like the Spartans, thinking them mere 'only Achaeans', ran right through them, rather than thinking twice if they had known who they were picking on.
